Today, purchasing roles and strategies are changing and expanding dramatically. The purchasing department has a unique position between the needs of all internal customers and the portfolio of external suppliers. Thanks to this, it is now possible to use this relationship to obtain new values required by corporate management such as innovation from the supplier, environmental policy or risk management and the benefits of new solutions to mitigate the risks we face.
